Hi Mark. Dtrace is the perfect tool for you. It is designed to have a minimal impact on a running system. As long as you don't go crazy and use a probe like "fbt:::" that instruments every function in the kernel, you should be pretty safe. Even with that one, it just feels like the system is overly loaded for awhile. I use "fbt:::" all the time in test environments, but I shy away from it in production servers.
What kind of memory usage do you see climb? How do you measure it? What kind of memory will point you in the direction you need to go.
